An investigation is underway into the cause of a fire that damaged a Fall River restaurant yesterday afternoon. According to CBS 12 in Providence, firefighters rushed to Marisqueira Azores Restaurant on South Main Street for reports of flames and smoke escaping through the roof. The fire significantly damaged the building and displaced about a dozen residents who live in the apartments above the restaurant. Two firefighters fell down the stairs while battling the flames who both suffered injuries but don’t appear to be life-threatening. The bulk of the fire damage was contained to the restaurant’s kitchen and storage.

The American Red Cross is also assisting the displaced residents.
